He was frustrated with being hacked all night by Nebraska and showed emotion. He made a mistake and got a tech. Not a big deal.
Trayce Yelling in Dude's Face

Sure, scream at the fans, our bench, their bench, etc. Don’t yell at another grown man in his face unless you are ready to throw hands. Good for the Nebraska kid for not reacting.
Thank you for posting that. A great moment. And damn what a stud Calbert was!
showing emotion and poor sportsmanship and totally different things.
taunting and putting down an opponent is big for players today, and not just kids.
that's not emotion, that's immature punk ass bad sportsmanship.
and the kid who elbowed Trey in the face should have been ejected.
I think Trayce was just telling him to give the ball to the ref.
I've been around awhile. I know and have known a lot of women. Some of them are pretty stupid. But every one of them is smarter than you.
2 plays later JG did the same thing and nothing was called. Seemed like a hometown ref kind of thing to me. Just like having our whole team in foul trouble all game
I love Trayce, love the fire, love the passion. I HATED the stoic, "I don't give a crap" look of Romeo/Phinisee and that group, where they thought it was cool to act like they didn't care.
That being said...it's kind of irritating watching Trayce make a play, scream "And one", flex, and then go to the line and miss his free throw.
Apparently you like the touchy touchy sports. Maybe you should try ballet.
I can't look at this photo without hearing Tom Petty..."And I'll stand my ground, and I won't back down!"

I blame ESPN's top 10 list of plays for this type of thinking. Kids don't see the big picture as far as team success. They just want to make the list. They also don't show the humility they should that good sportsmanship demands. I truly wonder if there is a lot of psychological stuff that is going on with young men or women who act like this. In other words, making a great play should be about how it helps the team and playing your part instead of making yourself feel better.
A guy who celebrates an emphatic dunk has psychological problems?
You're making way too big of a deal on this.

Celebrating is one thing. But yelling in the other player's face is different. If a person is confident about themselves then when they beat someone they don't have to do that.
If TJD got in players’ faces on a regular basis, I would consider it a problem. In this particular case, he had received more than his share of cheap shots, including on that particular play

actually because of the pandemic we have put our services on Facebook Live. My sphere is bigger than it was before. Most people like my ideas or at least respect me for them. Of course where I don't do well is the Trustee Board Meeting. I am not a guy who is a jack of all trades so I don't know at all what I am doing when it comes to fixing things, fixing them as cheap as possible etc. So I have asked God to give me people who are good at those things I am not. So far the Lord has come through.
To Me this is like the running back who scores a Touchdown on a 1 Yard Goal Line Plunge and then spikes the ball like He scored on an 80 Yard Run. You were supposed to make the play. There is nothing unusual about it. Now if TJD could score a basket with his right hand, hit a three pointer, make an assist pass to a cutter, or out of the post Diagonally to a Shooter, that would be worth a Celebration.
I think you are reading too much into my post. My point is We are talking about a Player Who Scores 95% of his points with shots within 5 Feet of the Basket and from the free throw Line. He dunks the ball at least 3 times per game. If your position is that You should applaud the unusual and out of the ordinary, than the other Plays I mentioned should catch your attention.
